Ashley Mac's Kitchen — Restaurant in Hoover

Ashley Mac’s is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re eating at a friend’s kitchen — if your friend happens to be an incredible Southern cook with a knack for comfort food done right.

The standout? Hands down the chicken salad — creamy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Pair it with a side of their broccoli slaw or the lemon vinaigrette house salad, and you’ve got a light yet satisfying meal. And don’t even think about leaving without a slice of their famous strawberry cake — moist, sweet, and nostalgic in the best way.

Portions are generous, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is casual but classy. Whether you’re grabbing lunch with a friend or picking up dinner for the family, Ashley Mac’s delivers consistency and comfort.

Great place for lunch. This was my first time. 5 of us met to celebrate all our birthdays. Very clean and cheery atmosphere. They don't have table service so you order at the front. I had the salad trio. They have a good selection to choose from. I had the Greek pasta salad, BLT green salad and chicken salad. The pasta salad was a bit dry, ergo the 4 stars but the rest was delightful. They had samples set out of their mac and cheese and lemon pie. Both were excellent. They have freezers and refrigerators filled with ready to eat items that you can grab and go. All looked yummy and tempting as you wait in line to order. They offer online ordering and have a designated pick up line. Judy took our order and brought it to our table. Very pleasant and welcoming. I will...

Stopped by to pick up dinner since the Inverness location has extended hours now (open until 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday).

Ordered the Baby Bleu salad, which the menu describes as, "mixed greens, strawberries, mandarin oranges, bleu cheese, sugared almonds, poppyseed vinaigrette." There were very few pieces of orange, and the strawberries were chopped so thin you could hardly taste them. Lettuce made up the bulk of the salad.

Also ordered the Hot Ham & Swiss that turned out to be warm at best, with the cheese barely melted.

I'll give them another try in the future, but I'll make different...
